The Quality Assurance Engagement Timeline

We conduct structured interviews with your key stakeholders, review existing documentation, and map your current state against target frameworks. Output: scoping report and project charter.

A comprehensive gap analysis across all applicable control domains. We quantify gaps by severity, effort, and risk impact — giving you a clear picture of where you stand.

We work alongside your team to close gaps systematically — drafting policies, building controls, configuring tooling, and training personnel on new processes.

We perform an internal audit simulation against the target framework, identify any remaining gaps, and remediate before the formal audit window.

Idatum serves as your liaison with external auditors — managing evidence requests, fielding technical inquiries, and ensuring a smooth audit experience.

Post-certification, we remain engaged through quarterly reviews, continuous control monitoring, and annual readiness assessments to protect your certification status.
